Hello,

How do I get the early boot console to show up on my screen when booting 
with the EFI boot stub? I can see it through the serial port if I set 
console=tty0, and I see the second half of the boot sequence after my 
initrd loads fbcon, but the screen remains unchanging until then. I'm 
using 3.3-rc7 on Virtualbox's EFI implementation.

Thanks,
Shea
